Lotus Evora S - Fast Forward

Happily Evora after.

Get ready for two new Lotus Evora models. The Evora S has 345 hp and 296 lb-ft of torque from its 3.5-liter Toyota V6. That's a respective and respectable 69 and 37 more than the original Evora. Top speed is now 172 mph and standstill to 60 mph takes 4.8 seconds. There's also some throttle response and stability control trickery that should put the S at the top of many enthusiasts' wish lists. And for those with lazy left legs, there's the Evora IPS: Intelligent Precision Shift. It's a six-speed auto with paddle shifters. No power hike, but no weight penalty either. And that's important in a Lotus.
